An Old man's requiem

[Sterveling]

An Old man's requiem

In a day long forgotten I lived my life
I lived my life full of hope and dreams
The man I am today,
The man I used to be,
both are now in vain.
The night falls,
the sun is slain.

The sun comes,
the sun goes,
a day goes by
Have I loved this day?
like I love my own blood
For the light is far away.

My dear son
I speak now my final words
The final words of my requiem
Let those words guide you
Let those words be not of a wise
but of a young fool
words full of pasion and desire
Now dear son, carry out my dream
Carpe Diem.....
